Open call for JD students: Give a video testimonial about your experiences at Chicago-Kent!

Wednesday, February 2, 2011
10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

We're looking for JD students who'd be willing to answer a few questions on camera about their experiences at Chicago-Kent. The short, very informal interviews will take about 10 minutes. We plan to include the student comments we gather in several short videos to be used by the Office of Admissions and to be posted on the law school's YouTube channel.

We're asking all students who are interested in participating to fill out a simple online form so that we can be in touch by e-mail with further details about where the videographer and interviewer will be set up on the day of the shoot.

The first 25 students to sign up online and then participate in a video interview will receive a $10 Starbucks gift card.

We appreciate your participation and interest and hope to see you on February 2!
